Senator Edward Kennedy was released this morning from Washington Hospital Center, where he had been taken after collapsing in convulsions during an inaugural luncheon yesterday. Kennedy, who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last May, had undergone brain surgery last year.According to the New York Times:
Dr. Edward F. Aulisi, the hospital’s chairman of neurosurgery, said Tuesday that the seizure had probably been brought on by “simple fatigue” after a long morning in the cold at the inaugural ceremony. Medical experts said a seizure in a brain cancer patient was not unusual and ordinarily had no serious consequences.(Photo credit.)
